Wow. I cleanup hitter who last year hit .228 with 19 homeruns and 61 RBI’s. Not to mention a leadoff hitter who gets on base 31% of the time and stole a career high 8 bases last year. That is just amazing. David Wright has no protection under this format and Jacobs is getting more at-bats than Bay. I would have thought Angel Pagan would be getting the nod over GMJ, but I guess not. I really hate this lineup it is even worse than I imagined it would be. Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, and Dan Murphy please hurry up! Continue reading

Come on Mets Bring in Rios
After watching another game against Philly with this lineup the Mets are throwing out there it is pretty evident that the Mets need to make a trade. Despite reports that there are “no sellers” in the trade market right now everyone knows that the Toronto Blue Jays are desperate to make cap room in order to keep Roy “Doc” Halladay, one of the best pitchers in the league. And why not Halladay is arguably the best pitcher in baseball. Therer is also a chance Haladay takes a small home town discount in order to stay in Toronto, considering he took 3 years $40 mill last time, giving the Blue Jays every more reason to due everything in their power to make salary room for him.

Minor League Ball – Hit and Run, June 29th, 2009
**Ike Davis Update: Davis found his power stroke in May at St. Lucie, bringing his numbers there up to .288/.376/.486, very nice numbers for the Florida State League. Promoted to Double-A last week, he’s hitting .400/.538/.550 through six games at Binghamton. He’s 8-for-20 with three doubles, five strikeouts, and six walks so far. The fact that he’s maintained the walk rate at the higher level is a good sign. He will likely need some consolidation time at this level and if I were the Mets I wouldn’t consider a promotion to Triple-A until August at the earliest, if he’s hitting well. Nevertheless, he’s exceeded the expectations I had for him in the book and has calmed concerns about his bat.
